@suzycupcake I can take on this weekly posting

1. How many weeks are you? 5w1d

2. Previous loss(es)? Three in 2018. MC in May, MMC in July due to Trisomy 22 and CP November

3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Today the nausea hit me. My boobs are getting big. I was annoyed with everything this morning and pretty short with my 3yo. Feeling better after a nap.

4. Any appointment updates? First US on the 28th. I found out I was pregnant the day of my first appointment with the RE. Since I am dealing with recurrent loss she is going to assume my care and then turn me over to my OB at 9 weeks if everything looks good.

5. Rants/Raves/Questions? My mom arrives today for 2 weeks. That is both a rant and a rave. It will be great to have the extra help around the house but 2 weeks is a long time.

6. Any milestones coming up? First MC was at about 6 weeks so of course I am anxious. I just want to see a good strong HB on the ultrasound

7. GTKY? Are you going to do a New Years resolution? Yes. Workout! I am committed to staying fitter in this pregnancy

BaylieGirl · December 2018

1. How many weeks are you? I thought I was 7+1 but just had my. First Uktrasound today and it dated me 6+1

2. Previous loss(es)? One Blighted Ovum MMC at 6 weeks and one healthy 21 month old

3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Stressed, drained, I wish I got better news at my appointment today. The heartbeat looked good at125, but with measuring a week behind the doctor says it's probably still 50/50 at this point as most miscarriages happens between 6-8 weeks

4. Any appointment updates? I go back for a follow up scan in 3 loooooonnnnggg weeks because my doctor will be on vacation.

5. Rants/Raves/Questions? I wish google didn't exist. I can not stop googling "baby measuring a week behind at 7 weeks"

6. Any milestones coming up? Nope. Just praying for a sticky bug in there.

7. GTKY? Are you going to do a New Years resolution? Feeling too nauseous to think of any right now.

suzycupcake · December 2018

Thanks @denma2015 I will add your name to the board org thread

mwmiller4 · December 2018

1. How many weeks are you? 5w0d today

2. Previous loss(es)? MMC Dec ‘14, MMC Feb ‘18 and two CP this fall

3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? My boobs hurt. I’m tired and keep waking up stupidly early and have some nausea but I’m worried it’s not enough.

4. Any appointment updates? 1st ultrasound was today. Haven’t gotten the official report but the tech said everything looked good based my dates. And that they’ll have me back in 5-7 days to check for a heartbeat.

5. Rants/Raves/Questions?

6. Any milestones coming up? 6 weeks is where it has taken a turn (either no heartbeat or slow growth). I have everything crossed that it’s because of clotting and the lovenox will help. But I’m so anxious. Hahahahaha

7. GTKY? Are you going to do a New Years resolution? To meal plan more like an actual adult.

@denma2015 so happy to see you here!!

@BaylieGirl I can’t believe you have to wait 3 weeks—I’m so sorry! The 125 sounds really good though—I have everything crossed that it works out for you!

ash0625 · December 2018

1. How many weeks are you? 5 weeks 5 days

2. Previous loss(es)? MMC and D&C at 11 weeks in February 2017.

3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? I'm all over the place. Nervous while trying to remain faithful and positive. I'm dealing with some nausea and sore boobs. Also some intense cravings which I didn't have with any of my previous pregnancies.

4. Any appointment updates? I don't have my first appointment until 1/3.

5. Rants/Raves/Questions? I lost my shit on DH today. I didn't have a good reason. I was just irrationally angry over something small. He let me off the hook, so that was nice.

6. Any milestones coming up? Since we saw a heartbeat at 8 weeks and then had the MMC at 11+5, I don't put a ton of stock in anything until well into the second trimester.

7. GTKY? Are you going to do a New Years resolution? Usually I just pick a healthy "theme" for the year and try to embody it. In 2018 it was "Grit and Grace." Haven't decided on 2019 yet.

jmesue1030 · December 2018

1. How many weeks are you? 5w 2d
2. Previous loss(es)? Just had a loss in September, we found out at our 12 week appointment in October. Got pregnant my first post MC cycle
3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Meh, physically I feel fine which makes me nervous. I know my symptoms are pretty appropriate for how far along I am but it’s hard not to be paranoid— I definitely had symptoms drop off when the loss happened
4. Any appointment updates? Don’t have my first apt until 1/4. They originally tried to schedule it for 1/28– I had to call back and demand an apt sooner than 11 weeks being so fresh off of a MC
5. Rants/Raves/Questions? not really at the moment
6. Any milestones coming up? I have to get past 12 weeks to feel safe
7. GTKY? Are you going to do a New Years resolution? I don’t usually make resolutions but I’ve been trying to journal at least once/week so probably keeping that up

aamo1982 · December 2018

1. How many weeks are you? 5 weeks 3 days

2. Previous loss(es)? 5 previous losses

3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically?
Feeling pretty emotionally numb still since finding out about this pregnancy, but hopeful things will work out.
Physically I am just exhausted with a twinge if nausea here and there; I almost wish it was more.

4. Any appointment updates?
Since I have unexplained recurrent miscarriages, I am choosing to see my OB around 7-8 weeks when an U/S will be more difinitive one way or the other.

5. Rants/Raves/Questions?
I got pregnant this time after a miscarriage in Nov, but before my cycle returned...wondering if that puts me at higher risk for miscarriage this time around too?

6. Any milestones coming up?
In my successful pregnancies, nausea would hit me hard week 6...looking forward to week six to se if that happens.

7. GTKY? Are you going to do a New Years resolution?
No NY resolutions planned!

jmesue1030 · December 2018

@aamo1982 I’m not sure if you’re at a higher risk but my friend got pregnant before her first full cycle after a MC and so far everything is good! She’s about 10 weeks and her doc told her at this point she’s at no higher risk of MC than anyone else.

jmesue1030 · December 2018

@BaylieGirl sorry to hear you’re measuring a week behind— Sending good vibes to that baby to keep growing!!

denma2015 · December 2018

@aamo1982 keeping my fingers crossed for you.

@jmesue1030 the paranoia is real. Ironically I felt it super strong in my past pregnancies that ended in MC but for this one I feel surprisingly calm. The day before my last MC I told my husband I have a feeling this pregnancy isn’t going to work out and the next day I started bleeding. I don’t know if it emotional detachment this time or if I feel like this one is going to be just fine. Still trying to process that. I seem to have a bit of a sixth sense and it’s telling me that this one is going to be okay. Isn’t that weird?

@BaylieGirl I hope all is okay. Do you think your dates could be off a little bit?

jmesue1030 · December 2018

@denma2015 I totally get that. My last pregnancy I said for a full 3 weeks, “I don’t feel pregnant” well turns out I was right— and had miscarried right around the time I started saying that. I also had a sudden distaste for thinking about baby things around the time it happened. I stopped looking at my baby name app and stopped engaging with my bmb on here— even though we didn’t find out we had lost the pregnancy until a few weeks later. This time I’m having a hard time deciphering between my gut instinct which tends to be right on and my anxiety/paranoia. For the most part, I feel pretty calm but I go through periods of anxiety where I really get fearful. It’s hard to just trust that everything is okay after experiencing a loss.

Smom901316 · December 2018

hey_clever_girl · December 2018

It's been a long time since my loss, but I'm not sure the PGAL brain ever really goes away, so here I am!

1. How many weeks are you?: 6w3d

2. Previous loss(es)?: One loss right around 6w3d or 6w4d in December of 2007. Tomorrow is actually the anniversary of our loss =/

3. How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically?: Physically I feel very pregnant: nauseated, sore boobs, tired, moody. Emotionally I'm pretty chill despite some on again/off again pink/orange spotting. I have a feeling that everything is okay, but then I get to questioning myself and wondering if that actually means anything.

4. Any appointment updates?: First appointment is January 8th. I'll feel better once I see a baby w/ a heartbeat and even better once we get to the second trimester.

5. Rants/Raves/Questions?: Just wish my discharge would be normal, tired of holding my breath every time I wipe.

6. Any milestones coming up?: Hopefully a heartbeat seen on Jan 8th!

7. GTKY? Are you going to do a New Years resolution?: Nope. Ha! Actually, I want to stay semi-active through this pregnancy because I'm way heavier than I should be starting out.
